Montag: K, we got to go on a boat!! How cool?! I love love
love water and Hamburg has lots of it! Then, we went on Tausch. I went with
Sister Sommerfeld. She’s in her first transfer and is AWESOME!! We had FHE by a
young couple and it was super fun!
Dienstag: Still on Tausch, which was so awesome because we
just talked about meat and cars all day! I do a daily Porsche count here and so
far my highest in one day is 7! This day we found 2 new contacts, or rather
they found us. They asked us for directions and it just happened to be exactly
where we were going also! Heavenly father has everything planned exactly out! It’s
perfect! We also got to help a member family paint. I love painting houses!
Then we tausched back. I was exhausted. Tausch is great, it’s just a little stressful
and I'm always SO tired!
Mittwoch: I had a leadership training meeting. But just me,
cause my comp isn't a sister training leader. So I was there with like 30
elders and 2 other sisters! Ha! I got to see some of my best friends though!
Including Elder Gurlach and Sister Sorensen! We learned a lot...but I won’t
bore you with the details. We also had institute that night. Sabrina was there.
And to explain the model thing...so Sabrina is from Brazil and is here in
Hamburg for a month modeling. She invited a friend that she met while modeling
to come to church! Does that make more sense?
Donnerstag: We had Distrikt meeting! Our distrikt meetings
have been really good lately! We also got to go to Brother Stephens. And once
again...he gave us the spiritual thought. I'll have to write down his amazing
advice next time and write it in here. I had like 5 people by 1 o'clock this
day tell me that I looked exhausted and a little sick. Awesome. I wasn't sick,
but I sure was tired! We later this day went and picked up the Lübeck sisters
to go on Tausch with them. I went with the new sister up there and we taught a
less active Andrea! She's good and planning on coming to our Relief Society
activity this week. I finally got to go to bed and I was really happy!
Freitag: We had all four of us in our tiny apartment and
getting ready with one bathroom and an apartment that's about as big as my room
at home is interesting! And with 4 sisters in one area means that we need to
double book our days when we are on tausch! Sadly this day all of our
appointments fell out and we all ended up finding all day! We did have a member
appointment with an old lady, like she’s 88! It was awesome to hear her
conversion story! The sisters left and we went to another eating appointment
with the Spanish family. Our Elders and the Spanish Elders were there. Really
fun! And a lot of food! It was also spicy and my stomach and taste buds are NOT
used to that! I'll have to ease myself back in! Also...funny thing, we were an
hour late cause I led everyone the wrong way on two different busses. Me trying
to get around in Hamburg is quite comical!
Samstag: Ok...best thing ever! We taught Larisse, the nonmember
model that Sabrina brought to church! The Spanish Elders were there cause Elder
Somma is from Brazil and he translated some things. It was the most spiritual
lesson I've had in a while! She said that when she knows it's true she will be baptized!
Also, Paul, an African that kept not coming to his appointments showed up! We
also had a really good lesson with him! A good day! To end this wonderful day
we taught Sch. Flick. She opened up and we kind of found out that she doesn't
have a real testimony. It was a very good day to say the least!
Sonntag: Larisse and David came to church! It was great!
Also, Elder Winter taught a great Sunday school lesson for the investigator
class about repentance. We got to do some family history work after church
which is really fun! There are some cool things about our ancestors! :)
This week I've been studying the attributes of Captian
Moroni! He's AWESOME!! Also the war chapters are awesome in German and I'm
loving my personal study!! Did you know Moroni was only like 25 when he was
first captain?! Crazy!! And he was SO righteous! He's a champ of turning his
frustration and anger into something spiritual and motivational!
I hope you all have a great week! Isn't it valentine’s day
this week?! I hate that holiday! But even though it's not my favorite I hope
it's good for you. Love you all so much!!
Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
